[D]
[G]
[Bm] You [Em] have lived [Am] such a gentle life [C]
upon [D] this [G] earth that [C] I [Bm] [Em] am stunned by [Am] your sight.
[D] If
[Am] [D] [G]
I [Em] could give [Am] but a token [B] of [C] the love you [D] have, [Am] then I might not be [Em] this lonely [D] tonight.
[C] Let [G] [C] [G] them have their smug and [Bm] their cool, [Am]
confined by fashion [C] and peer.
I love you [Bm] for [Am] your courage
in [Em] this frightened [D] atmosphere.
[F#] [D] [Am] I love you [Bm] [C] for your courage [D] in this frightened [G] atmosphere.
[Cm] [G]
[C] [B]
[F] [Am] Oh, [B] there are [D] so few [A] brave [Am] ones like [Em] you, need [Am] I explain?
[Em]
Never wondering [Am] what to do,
[C] what to venture, [D] what to gain.
[G] And you [D] [Em]
have loved [Am] in a total way, [D] from flesh to soul [G] you [C] speak,
[Bm] [Em] without coy, [Am]
without [D] pose.
[Am] [D] [G] Your eyes [Em] can see [A] that the [Am] emperor [Bm] [C] has lost [D] his clothes,
[Am] and what's more you'll tell [Em] the whole world [G] what he [D]
stole.
[G] Let them have their fad [Bm] and their fix, [A] confined by fashion [Bm] [C] and peer.
[Am] I love you for your [Em] courage
in [Am] this frightened [D] atmosphere.
[Am] I love you for [G] [C] your courage [D] in this frightened
[Em] atmosphere.
